Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:07:24 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2239121#comment-3108541As any fan of the Cowboys (and most if not all non-fans) know already, the team will continue to flounder in mediocrity as long as the current operational structure is in place. Jerry Jones will go to his grave before relenting any true power or control over personnell decisions, both player and coaches alike. It’s a very frustrating time for fans of a formerly great franchise with a rich history of success and achievement. His decisions continue to be driven less by how they would impact the team on the field but more by how he is perceived by the media and general public. This has never been more evident than the last two seasons regarding the former and current D Coordinators. He fired Rob Ryan just to say he fired somebody as penalty for another 8-8 season, and by not firing Monte Kiffin, designer of the teams worst defensive year statistically in the history of the franchise, he is purposely spiting those who spoke so loudly against the knee-jerk decision to fire Ryan following 2012. The immediate future of the Cowboys looks every bit as bleak as the recent past has been.

Romo are still there. Suggestion to the fans, STAY AWAY FROM THE STADIUM.

The Cowboys death spiral began with the firing of Jimmy Johnson decades ago, for those old enough to remember it.

Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:32:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2239121#comment-3106361Sure, one of the worst defensive performances in the history of football was just growing pains. The unit performing far below the sum of its individual talents isn’t a sign of a problem with its leadership.

MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Of course, the team will be in the hunt again, just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. And it won’t matter.

Mr. Jones, did you SEE the playoffs this year? Do you realize the defenses you are up against in the NFC? This is a dire issue.

Fix the offensive line, get some decent defensive leadership, and they win the division.

This is a (surprisingly) good decision for the Cowboys.

All these posts are by people who fail to mention what team they root for. Funny thing is yeah we have missed the playoffs four years in a row but it’s not as if every season was a disaster. We are the only team in the east to have had a shot going into week 17 three years in a row. Injuries and bad luck happen to all teams but real fans don’t jump ship cause of tough times. That’s for band wagon fans not die Hard fans

There’s the root of the Cowgirls’ problem – an owner that refuses to back off and let coaches actually coach. As long as Jones is at the helm and Romo is under center, it’s good with me…another mediocre season for them coming up…life is good.

Lack of consistency is a recipe for disaster in the NFL (see also: The Washington Redskins), so keeping this leadership team in place at least for one more season is probably a good call.

Jerry can act that way because he can count on the millions of dollars from the thousands of suckers who fill his palace every home game. Why change when you don’t have to? Jerry Jones has built the greatest mediocre team ever!

If Cowboys fans don’t like being called suckers, stop enabling Jerry’s delusion by not giving him your money. Only blackouts and falling revenue will get his attention now.
===============================

Amen, brother

I haven’t bought a single bit of cowboys swag in over a decade. I will not line the pockets of the real reason for such garbage. I do support the players on the field, they are doing the best they can. The problem with organizations like this, start at the top and the top of the cowboys isn’t changing anytime soon. Quit giving that man your money.

It’s crazy that a 40 year cowboys fan has to be like this, but…

Good. That means the Carolina at Dallas game will be one win for us in our NFC South title defense.

But if you’re waiting for Jerry to pass on, you may have hope. He looks 100 years old in that photo…

Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:15:50 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2239121#comment-3105702Agreed – what Jerry has needed for a long, long time is consistency. Quit hiring and firing so quickly, and let a system percolate for awhile.

Dan Rooney and his 3 coaches in 45 years should be the model that other owners try to emulate. Because he’s had the most success during that time.

What is the famous definition of insanity? Keep doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.

Kinda funny how one Dallas Cowboy article gets all of you loud mouth little chuckleheads so angry! #haters #😁

snuggles: since we know no one hates the cowboys because they beat anyone, the only reason left for the negative response is the obnoxious remnants of the cowboy bandwagon jumpers from the 90s who remain scattered about the country, and/or the jackass owner.
